{One month}

Today it's been one month since I got to kiss his little lips and see his face. Thanks for continuing to love us.  We are doing well.  But it still hurts.  We are in Switzerland. It's beautiful. I am healing. Slowly :) I am taking time to spend with the Lord. I am resting. I am trying to process. I am spending great time with my hubby. He is healing too. Thanks for loving us. We are still hurting, but we are definitely healing. Rejoicing in the time with our son today. :) Spending some fun time with friends in the mountains.  Taking our time to move forward.  Happy Monday.

  1. What precious love. Truly wonderful that you are able to get away - and by the way - don't let yourself feel one bit guilty. From one teacher to another I promise your students are okay! God is providing all that is needed for you and them. :)

  7. Brooke,
    I found your blog through Carrying to Term on Baby center. I too carried a baby with anencephaly. His name was Noah and he was born on Mother's day last year. He lived an amazing 19 hours.

    I remember all to well the feelings and emotions of those first few days and months after Noah passed. MY heart is aching for you.

    I will be praying for you and your sweet family. Your baby Briar was just precious.

  8. Brooke, thank you for the picture of Briar. He is beautiful. We cherish that glimpse into that moment in time. God is truly a healer of hearts. Psalm 73:23-24 says Yet I still belong to you; you are holding my right hand. You will keep guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.

  12. I love what you said about moving forward...so wise not to be moving on. Moving on means forgetting...moving forward means always remembering as you take a step into each new day.

    You are brave Brooke, even when you can't see through the tears.

    Praying for your heart tonight.
    Sending love,
    Laura
